Embracing Uncertainty

Embracing who you are, where you are and where you have been.

Embracing Uncertainty
Kendra Badley

One of the greatest pieces of advice that is often not shared is to embrace uncertainty. The most beautiful chapters in our lives may not hold a title until years later because its the experience and journey of how you faced opposition. It's not about living large but to live abundantly in love and sharing that heart with as many possible. If I have learned anything in my almost 24 years, it's that I'm a living testimony and to have humility through honesty touches more lives than holding your current struggles within. What I used to think was my weakness is now my strength. My past is a testimony that I can share without hesitation or reliving the experiences. Constantly looking to grow and overcoming things as they come, brings more light to loving and understanding yourself more than you could possibly imagine. Throw a little Jesus in there and call it happiness. Let me make a point here, people appreciate your honesty if they're looking to grow because they could very well be quiet about encountering a similar circumstance or trying to go about themselves when they need to hear that there is a light to a healing process. Do not be afraid of judgement. It only means they are a shallow minded fool. Forgive and keep going. Call your struggles what they are, tell God or even a loving mentor and push through it because it isn't worth holding it in. This may very well be a chapter where you overcome something that will change your life but yet could change multiple lives for the rest of your own.

Psalms 62:5 "My soul, waits silently for God alone, for my expectation is from Him."

You will always face trials on this Earth.The Bible clearly states that daily you will encounter struggles. Your faith, your patience, your attitude, etc all of who you are as God's child will be constantly tested. God says you are blessed when you persevere under trial. How do you persevere under trial? You have faith. You look forward knowing that right now isn't forever, but when you overcome this step you will look back and value it as a lesson from our heavenly father. In the deepest darkest moments of uncertainty God is with you. He will never leave nor forsake you in any struggle, but it is up to you to persevere under trial and not crumble under the pressure.

James 1:12

"Blessed is the one who perseveres under trial because, having stood the test, that person will receive the crown of life that the Lord has promised to those who love him.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
